A still life painting of a red vessel with a square patch multi-color velvet quilt spilling of the side of a wooden ledge. Dramatic light and shadows create drama and illuminate the subject matter. Realism. Fine art.
“I treat the lay of the fabrics as a landscape transformed by light, the pottery representing mankind metaphorically and the working of the earth by human hands warmed by light. I paint in oils for oils too metaphorically represent a complete circle of life – from earth to life, and from life to art – for the oils and color pigments too come from the earth. For me, painting in oils is a kind of spiritual experience in addition to being a personal means of expression.”
